Subject: [AVALON] Taking over a theatre

Having just witnessed the 21-album marathon by Sparks in London which ended  
last evening with their new and 21st album, I can only echo the statement by  
Russell Mael at the end of the show: "Don't worry, it's very unlikely anyone  
else will ever try it again".
 
I loved the Meltdown show by David Bowie when he played all of Heathen and  
Low in one evening. This of course had Bowie cognoscenti wondering if this 
could  be a try-out for the future with albums being paired (an idea that Sparks 
might  have benefited from) off for evenings of entertainment.
 
Very few artists have the consistent quality (or the nerve) to do something  
like this. And I can't see Roxy and/or Ferry doing it. But like many here, I'd 
 go.
 
All good things
Richard Mills
